Cinta Costera

The brilliant 14-kilometre boulevard, Cinta Costera will refresh you like nothing else. You can visit this place both during the day and late evening. The entire path is well lit and has ice-cream trucks and coconut water kiosks to beat the tropical heat. This place also has an open gym and a dedicated cycle route. Biking is something that is enjoyed by most of the tourists here. Moreover, plenty of daily or weekly yoga, salsa, reggae and Pilates classes are held here. Every Sunday, the place is cordoned off for half a day till 2 pm. Only pedestrians, runners and cyclists are allowed on the roads. Though it’s popular with tourists, there are two things that tend to put them off. First is the foul smell of sewage and raw fish that emanates from the fish market close by (Mercado del Marisco) and the other is the traffic noise that becomes quite overwhelming around peak hours as Cinta Costera lies next to the main road.
